Compliance Management Systems (CMS)

A Compliance Management System (CMS) is a structured process organizations use to ensure they follow all relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies. It involves identifying applicable requirements, implementing policies and procedures to meet them, monitoring adherence, and making improvements as needed. The goal is to prevent legal issues, reduce risks, and promote ethical practices. Essentially, a CMS helps a business stay lawful and responsible by systematically managing compliance activities across the organization.
